Definitions

  • the invention relates to a combination of a vaporizer and a charger as well as a method of outputting information relating to such a combination.
  • Vaporizers have a recently gained popularity as an alternative to traditional smoking articles. Since the energy for heating an aerosol or a tobacco stick is provided electrically, the vaporizer needs to be charged and is, therefore, typically combined with a charger which can for example be a portable charging case, in which the vaporizer can be accommodated. Usually in such combinations, both the vaporizer as such and the charger have a user interface with one or more inputs, such as buttons or capacitive touch sensors and one or more outputs, such as LEDs for showing information such as battery level, vaping time, heating-up time and puff intensity.
  • inputs such as buttons or capacitive touch sensors
  • outputs such as LEDs for showing information such as battery level, vaping time, heating-up time and puff intensity.
  • US 9854846 B2 is related to a charging package for an e-cigarette, which has a window, through which light from an LED provided on the e-cigarette can be emitted. Further e-cigarettes having user interface outputs are shown in GB 2528711 B and CN 107997236 A.
  • any outputs are provided on the vaporizer, which further has at least one input, and the charger lacks any such outputs and preferably also inputs.
  • user outputs can be constituted by one or more displays or light sources, in particular LEDs
  • inputs can be constituted by buttons, capacitive touch sensors or microphones for voice command input.
  • the subject-matter of the present application simplifies the use thereof, since the user does not have to pay attention to outputs provided on two separate devices, the vaporizer on the one hand and the charger on the other hand, but can receive all information from outputs provided on the vaporizer only. The same preferably applies to any inputs.
  • the user can operate the vaporizer and the charger or input any information into the combination of the two, by using input only provided on the vaporizer and does not have to worry about further inputs provided on the charger.
  • the charger can have one or more inputs.
  • the vaporizer preferably has a single output and/or a single input, and the charger preferably has a single input.
  • Handling of the combination or vaporizing system comprising the vaporizer and the charger can further be simplified by providing the charger as a charging case, which is preferably portable, and in which the vaporizer can be accommodated.
  • At least one output is related to battery level of the vaporizer or the charger, vaping time, heating- up time, puff intensity or charging state. All of these outputs will provide useful information to the user.
  • a control in order to allow the user to distinguish between vaporizer and charger related output, a control can be provided, which is adapted to control at least one output so as to distinguish between vaporizer and charger related output. Distinguishing between vaporizer and charger related output can for example be achieved by a difference in representation or display of the output, such as the colour of a light source such as an LED, display of a different pattern, an additional light source, such as an LED or similar means.
  • control is adapted to control at least one output so as to output, in particular show vaporizer related output, when the vaporizer is not connected to the charger and to output charger related output, when the vaporizer is connected to the charger.
  • the user can easily grasp not only the information as such, but also the fact, to which of the two components the information is related.
  • switching between vaporizer and charger related output can be effected automatically, depending on the result of detection, whether the vaporizer is connected to the charger. Alternatively, this switching can be affected by using the vaporizer's and/or charger's input. This is further supported by the optional feature that the vaporizer has an output indicating whether vaporizer or charger related output is output.
  • the vaporizer and/or the charger can have an input adapted to switch between the above-mentioned types of output.
  • the vaporizer has a single output and/or input, and/or the charger has a single input.
  • the invention further provides a method of outputting and inputting information to a combination of a vaporizer and a charger corresponding to the combination of devices described above, i.e. any information is output on the vaporizer, and no information is output on the charger, further allowing information to be input on the vaporizer, whereas at least preferably no information can be input on the charger.
  • the method according to the invention simplifies the use of the described combination, and the preferred method features correspond to the preferred device features described above. In this context, it should generally be mentioned, that any features described in connection with the devices and the combination of vaporizer and charger can be provided in the method described herein and vice versa.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment
  • Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment.
  • the combination of a vaporizer 10 and a charger 12 can for example be provided in an elongate form, in which the charger is provided as a charging case, in which the vaporizer 10 can be accommodated.
  • the vaporizer comprises a button 14 as an example for an input, and an LED 16 constituting an example for an output.
  • the button can for example be pressed in order to display a battery level of the vaporizer by means of the LED.
  • the control can be adapted to display battery level of the charger, when the button 14 is pressed again.
  • the fact that now battery level of the charger is displayed by the LED can be indicated by changing the colour of the LED, for example from white to green.
  • input and output are provided essentially in the same manner on the vaporizer, but the charger additionally has an input button 18.
  • the button 14 on the vaporizer 10 can for example be used to control the LED to display battery level of the vaporizer, whereas for example the battery level of the charger is shown, as soon as the button 18 on the charger is pressed.
  • use and operation of the vaporizer combined with the charger is significantly simplified, so that user benefit is increased.
  • the vaporizer 10 is essentially elongate and covers essentially one entire side surface of the charger 12.
  • the LED 16 can be provided essentially at the center of the vaporizer 10, and its input 14 can be provided at essentially one forth to one third of its length at approximately the center of the smaller dimension of the vaporizer 10 (from left to right in the figures) .
  • the input 18 of the charger can be provided at the end opposite the vaporizer's input 14 and approximately at the center of the larger side face of the charger 12.
